Cppcheck integration - static code analysis

The Cppcheck integration makes it easy to run static code analysis on MPLAB projects.

Steps to setup:

Install Cppcheck from https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/
Make sure the cppcheck executable is added to the PATH environment variable
Enable the Cppcheck integration feature in the VS Code Settings view
Restart VS Code

After setup you will get MPLAB Cppcheck tasks for each of your MPLAB project configurations. The tasks will be available together with your other build tasks (Ctrl + Shift + B).

Note: Cppcheck requires you to first build your project since it will use output from CMake (compile_commands.json).

Known Issues

Problem Matchers may still need some refining to ensure all compiler errors are caught.
